Overcomed by the world?

many days I felt powerless against this whole idea of society and work and making a living and living a Christian life. how hard is it when your time is no longer your own and you no longer live for yourself but also for another group of people, be it your family, church, company or other institutions. the loyalty and allegiance to that group of people will ultimately decide how you shape your life. And amidst all these, comes the relentless barrage of temptations and more temptations...

A quote from Our Daily Bread:

More purity give me, more strength to overcome,
More freedom from earth stains, more longings for home,
More fit for the kingdom, more used I would be,
More blessed and holy-more Saviour, like Thee. - Bliss

Thank God for my family and close friends who have kept me sane till this day.
